Zsuzsa Szlávik ,
Born in 1970 in Budapest, Ms.Szlávik started to play the violin at the age of five. In 1980 she obtained first prize at the János Koncz National Competition. In 1981 she was admitted to the preparatory school of the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest where her professors included Miklós Szenthelyi, Dénes Kovács and Ferenc Rados. Having obtained her diploma in 1993, she attended master classes of Dénes Zsigmondy.

Iván Fischer nails his very individual colours to the mast from the opening fanfares, with tiny rhetorical hesitations between the second and the third and third and fourth bars, and then a broadening as the full brass choir marches grimly towards the fanfares repeat. And if that initial description seems to signal an overstated reading, fear not: this Tchaik Four is anything but overstated.
